thanks a lot. Next time I'm there I'll try that and get something cut out. I have a question about blender however, on the export tab is it possible to export as a .stl file? Because that's the filetype this laser cutter needs

I had a try at making a hand ; [img]http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/1211/talktothehand.png[/img] It was pretty hard, and you can't even close in on stuff that good, all you do is roll around the centre of the picture.

[QUOTE=sltungle;20488431]Lamprey breast? *shudders* [editline]05:18PM[/editline] Would have made more sense to use Nitrogen, but it works regardless. I don't suppose most people would know the percentage composition of air on Earth anyway.[/QUOTE] We inhale 78% Nitrogen We exhale 78% Nitrogen We don't use Nitrogen like at all.
[QUOTE=xpod1;20521263]We inhale 78% Nitrogen We exhale 78% Nitrogen We don't use Nitrogen like at all.[/QUOTE] I didn't say we did. I was simply stating that roughly 80% OF AIR is nitrogen.

Someone make a video tutorial on basic head/face modelling with this style of 3d modeller.
[QUOTE=Jallen;20518998]Yes, you can export to STL files.[/QUOTE] Thanks yo, that saves me about 10 mins of faffing around
Actually tried making a low poly basic coloured model. Note that [B]I HAVE HAD NO FORMER EXPERIENCE IN BLENDER WHATSOEVER[/B] so the colour/optimization is pretty bad.

Another retard question : How do you colour stuff?
When I first opened it up I sat there holding the "draw" tool on the sphere and thought nothing was happening. Then I turned the camera. It ended up turning into this thing. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/wvblvn.jpg[/IMG] I feel like this is how Spore should have worked. I'm not going to learn anything in my psychology lecture today.
YES!!! I can import it into Blender :D :dance: :zombie: :pwn: EDIT: [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/dfl94.jpg[/img] I think I did something wrong... :v:
One thing you guys should probably know. You can make your own materials to use in Sculptris. Create a round texture like this, save it as a PNG with a name like materialX.png (X being a number higher than 10) and stick that in the Sculptris data folder. You can make cool shit like this: [IMG]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/4485/golemimpressionisticpng.png[/IMG] Yep, made in Sculptris. Here's the file for reference. [IMG]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1020/material11png.png[/IMG] Have fun. :v:
[img]http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/518/bugthingy.png[/img] I don't even know what this is.

I've been trying to make textures for days, from blank, solid colours, to actual, proper textures... they all come out looking really weird :( Like they're liquid metal or something like that. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a151/sltlamina/bad_texture.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=sltungle;20549677]Oh, okay :( Thanks anyway.[/QUOTE] You might want to try making them bigger. Something like 256x256 might work. Unless you were making them bigger than that, in which case I have no idea. From what I've seen, it seems like it textures it by texturing x amount of polys, checking the area around them, and then texturing y amount of polys with a different area of the texture. Which, if your pattern is small or oddly shaped, would lead to your odd lines. [editline]09:02AM[/editline] [IMG]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/706/dooglit.jpg[/IMG] Took like ten minutes. This is fast once you get the hang of it.
I was using 512x512.
[QUOTE=sltungle;20549896]I was using 512x512.[/QUOTE] Then I have absolutely no idea. Post your texture file.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;20549978]Then I have absolutely no idea. Post your texture file.[/QUOTE] I deleted most of them now because they didn't work. I've kept one, though. Looks SEMI decent with bumpmapping... doesn't look decent as a texture itself, more as a lighting style: [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a151/sltlamina/material12.png[/IMG] I have a feeling that because the lines run up and down the 'sphere' as opposed to in a radial pattern or something that this might be responsible for some of the problems. [editline]08:52PM[/editline] Using your radial method I've been able to do this: [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a151/sltlamina/purple_syntyan.jpg[/IMG] Still a bit basic, though. I'd prefer to be able to have a proper texture across it. I suppose if I want that I may have to export it to some other program and texture it there. [editline]09:00PM[/editline] [img]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a151/sltlamina/purple_syntyan_02.jpg[/img] Got that one, too. But... again. Still a little basic.
You can get some funny cel-shaded looks with it. I've yet to figure out how to individually skin certain parts, but I have a feeling that's impossible to begin with, simply because of the way it actually textures the models.
Cell shaded: [IMG]http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6011/material11.png[/IMG][IMG]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4352/pignasty.png[/IMG] Also, comparison to zBrush. Fairly close, actually. [IMG]http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5896/d681a17f9d46b6923b1be48.jpg[/IMG] wtf automerge fail
